Warwickshire Religion and Worldviews syllabus

  • In weekly RE lessons we seek to promote reflection, empathy, comprehension, investigation, interpretation and analysis.
  • Foster attitudes such as curiosity, open-mindedness, self-understanding, respect, wonder and appreciation, as these are fundamental to a fair minded study of religions and worldviews and the spiritual dimensions of human life. This is achieved through a research- based enquiry approach to the teaching of RE.
  • RE is taught using the following disciplines: Theology (Thinking about beliefs); Philosophy (Thinking about ideas), Human & Social Sciences (Thinking about living) & History
  • RE units use the following concepts and build upon them each year producing a spiral curriculum.

  • Pupils are taught understanding of worldviews, disciplinary knowledge and disciplinary skills, through learning about Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Humanist, Buddist, Jewish & Pagan worldviews.  
  • Each year group explores 3 big enquiry questions over the year.

  • Within each enquiry sub-questions are explored and discussed enabling children to develop their own individual answers to each of the big questions.
